Vår tid är nu

Known in English as The Restaurant, an intriguing historical fiction about Sweden in the postwar years. Influenced by Downton Abbey from its theme music to its tendency to overplot, the contrasts of this superbly-acted show are fascinating. It’s also very sad and deeply troubling, en route to explaining how Sweden became what it is.
